Using the Expression Designer

Use the Expression Designer to write personalization rules without having to learn Siebel Query Language. It provides you with a drag-and-drop interface and helps you validate syntax of the expression. This procedure guides you through the steps for creating the Include Expression defined in Step 3. This procedure is an alternative to typing the expression directly into the Include Expression field.
